Death Waits...

Death stares Life in the face
Challenging Life to fight back.
Life is younger and not as strong as Death.
This is nothing new.
Death has always challenged Life.
Try as they might, they could never be friends.
The fear of Death subsides.
Life goes on.

Death waits.
Allowing time for Life to grow older
To grow weak.

Death Awakens
Thirsty for blood
Searching for a kill.
Death Knocks down Life's door.
Returning to finish off Life.
Life runs and hides
Crouched in a corner
Praying for help

Death finds Life.
Death ends Life.

A new Life is born.
Death waits.
